Is there a way to make microsecond delay in freertos

[Mijta]

I need 40 us delay. I made my own function using timers, which works on NUCLEO, just using it in main. Now that I put my program my circuit, I moved that SPI part on freertos, but now I have problem, because that delay doesnt work anymore. I would use osDelay, but that is only ms and I need us. Why my delay using timers doesnt work and is there any other way to make it. Thank you for help.

Well resetting at every entry isn't exactly thread safe.

Read the value at entry, and compare the delta, I'd cut-n-paste-n-edit but hard to do with bitmaps.

Have exactly same issue when need precise timing in us for SPI communications in RTOS (STM32H743 + HAL). 

have this timDelay_us function in timer 1 but still cant get it working.

void timDelay_us(uint16_t us){
  uint16_t entryPoint = __HAL_TIM_GET_COUNTER(&htim1);
  //__HAL_TIM_SET_COUNTER(&htim1,0); // set the counter value a 0
  while ((uint16_t)__HAL_TIM_GET_COUNTER(&htim1) < (us + entryPoint)); 
}

You have the math backward, compute the delta (now - start), and then compare with the elapsed time delay you're looking for

void timDelay_us(uint16_t us){
  uint16_t entryPoint = __HAL_TIM_GET_COUNTER(&htim1);
  while (((uint16_t)__HAL_TIM_GET_COUNTER(&htim1) - entryPoint) < us); 
}

The unsigned math should then manage the wrapping transparently.

Here TIM would be maximal (0 .. 0xFFFF), clocking at 1 MHz

Interrupts and context changes will make the time the delay takes a little more complicated, but should be at least as long as requested +/- 1us depending on when you enter. For finer granularity, clock faster.

But you can't use an interrupt at 1 MHz, you'll just saturate the processor.
